I built Plethora: An open-source, local-first Second Brain that auto-syncs with your Hack The Box progress

Hey everyone!

I've always struggled with keeping my HTB notes organized. Copy-pasting machine IPs, tracking what I've rooted, and organizing my write-ups manually in Obsidian/Notion was getting tedious. So, I spent some time building Plethora.

Plethora is a local-first desktop-style web app. You connect your HTB App Token, and it automatically pulls in your Machines and Challenges in the background while you play.

What it does:

  • 100% Local & Private: Uses a local SQLite database. Your private write-ups and secrets never touch the cloud.
  • Smart Auto-Sync: Tracks your progress and builds a global activity timeline (complete with a GitHub-style hacking heatmap and streak counter).
  • Rich Journaling: A dedicated markdown editor with instant auto-save and inline screenshot pasting.
  • Command Palette: Press Ctrl+Q to instantly full-text search thousands of your past journals, or let the app automatically extract your past bash/powershell commands (like finding exactly what nmap flags you used 3 months ago).

I just open-sourced it on GitHub and would love for people to test it out, break things, and give me feedback!

GitHub Repo: https://github.com/krishjain-2301/Kri27

To get started, just clone the repo, run npm install, and hit npm run dev.

Let me know what you guys think!

Internships and Placement

Can someone tell how the 3rd year will go in terms of placements and internships. What all do we need to do and if I want to apply for a role like cybersecurity do I need to do coding like dsa and leetcode? Cause cybersecurity doesn't require that level of coding cause it usually deals with tools and script hacking which doesn't require that level of knowledge in coding especially .

Built an AI red-teaming platform for LLM apps — looking for honest feedback

Hey everyone,

I'm a BTech student building AYZO, an early-stage platform aimed at helping developers test the security and robustness of their LLM applications.

The idea came from seeing how easy it is to ship AI features without properly evaluating them against prompt injections, jailbreaks, unsafe behaviors, and other failure modes.

I know it's far from perfect, which is exactly why I'm posting here.

If you have a few minutes, I'd genuinely appreciate feedback on:

  • Does this solve a real problem?
  • What features would you expect?
  • What's confusing or unnecessary?
  • Would you ever use something like this?

Website: https://ayzo-web.vercel.app/

I'm not selling anything—just trying to learn and build something useful. Brutally honest feedback is welcome.
